no that is a 3-0-8 it is 30 caliber a 223 is 5.56 mm it is 22.3 caliber
Yes there is a difference. They are physically the same size casing, but the 556 military rounds' chamber pressure is ~10,000 psi higher then 223. Military rifles generally have chambers with a different throat configuration than normal sport 223 rifles. This being said, I would not recommend shooting 556 unless your rifle was designed for the higher pressures.
The factors of 223 are: 1, 223
223
223 and 1
It depends on what you mean. Strictly speaking, a .223 cartridge has a .22 caliber bullet, but when people say .22, they are usually referring to .22 Short, Long Rifle, or Magnum cartridge, which is different than .223.

"The .223 Remington is a sporting cartridge with almost the same external dimensions as the 5.56x45mm NATO military cartridge."In short, 223 IS the caliber- .223 inches

In terms of power, or diameter? A .22 has a bullet diameter of .223 inches, the same as the .223 Remington and 5.56 military cartridge. The .222 Remington actually has a bullet diameter of .224 inches.
In general, no. The .22 LR is a straight sided rimfire cartridge 1 inch long. The .223 is a bottlenecked centerfire cartridge almost 3 inches long. Totally different. The 22 LR CAN be shot in a .223 by the use of a special adapter.
The AR 15 is a rifle, not a caliber. the .223 is a caliber. Usually the AR-15 is made in caliber .223.
It depends on what you mean. A .22 caliber gun is a gun that will fire a .22 caliber cartridge. If you want an example of a .22 caliber gun, one example would be a Smith and Wesson model 17. this is true but u must remember that when describing a caliber u are talking about the diameter of the round . for example the .22 long rifle is the same diameter as the 5.56 that the m4 shoots . if the round is refer ed to as the .22 it will most likely be rim fire as other .22 like 5.7,5.56,and.223 will be center fire
5.56mm by 45mm long. This is similar to, but not the same as .223
Yes, they do shoot the same projectile although the 22-250 takes a heavier charge of the same powder over the .223.
